What do you consider the most useless piece of equipment on your farm?

A lot of mention of the hat maker here -- mine runs all the time. Mostly red hats though. A straw hat to utilize wheat has been highly suggested to address this issue (and I love that idea!)

No one has a problem with the Pasta Kitchen? I never use mine. I have a certain # of each dish and they just sit in my barn getting dusty.

I agree on the jam maker.

The sanctuary is not a machine.

Also, I don't like that the sanctuary next to the town. We feed the animals on the farm, go to town, and I totally forget about the animal in the sanctuary, because its so far to the side of the town. Easy to forget, at least for me.

Judging by the number of stars on my machines - I use the taco kitchen the least as it only has one star and the rest have either 2 or 3 stars. I've never tried to max out a machine on purpose by making stuff just to get a star. Apparently the way I play I don't tend to load the taco kitchen unless I want something to give to a townie probably.

Same as chelfarmer for me it's the pasta kitchen, it uses dairy so I don't keep it running at all times. I actually make quite a lot of hats and don't use tom for those, I use him to occasionally top up my blankets n pillows and of course jam. I basically only make 3 types - Apple, grape an raspberry the others I usually have to wait for a tom booster n top up what I am Low on or don't serve the order.

I've earned all stars on all machines about 9 months back, so I do keep all machines running and sell excess made so I don't run out of coins ☺️

Candy maker has much to long of production time. Have you noticed town demand for candy seems to have gone up? I had a townie ask for 33 jars of honey this week. Really? I can’t keep my bees in full production.

Candy maker - 20+ hours for jellybeans and 17+ for a chocolate bar? Way too long. Not even reasonable.
Jam maker - between 5-7 hrs for production! Boats ask for 9-12 of them, and the grocery store constantly wants jam for very little return. No one gets jam in my town, lol. I hoard jam and only use it to help others on boats.

I like to make pillows and blankets, but I usually send Tom for those because I never have enough feathers (feather boats??? Are you kidding me???). Same with hats. So, I would say it's not the machines that are useless, it's the fact that there are never enough feathers to make anything. I can buy cloche hats in the DD because apparently everyone except for me makes them. Good god, people. Enough already! lol
